So, the MET have received a vexatious complaint from pro-life UK<\/strong> and the Metropolitan Police want to interview Exit Director, Philip Nitschke, under caution?<\/p>\n

Hell no, don’t talk about death and dying. At least not in England.<\/p>\n

This matter is all about free speech. It is about the Religious Right<\/strong> not liking the right of others who are not of their way of thinking, wanting to talk about when and how they might die in a way that is peaceful, dignified and reliable.<\/p>\n

Pro-life think death and dying is in the hands of God. For them it might be, for non-believers it is not.<\/p>\n

While almost no one wants to die, absolutely no one wants to suffer dying.\u00a0 Coming to an Exit meeting and having your questions about death and dying answered in a non-emotive, factual yet sensitive manner can be hugely reassuring.<\/p>\n

Just having access to this information can reassure a person who is elderly or who is seriously ill. From knowledge comes power.<\/strong>\u00a0 From knowledge comes a sense of being back in control and able to make one’s own informed decisions, should the need ever arise.<\/p>\n

The whole idea of knowing about how to die peacefully and reliably<\/strong>, should things ever come to that, should not be a controversial issue. Rather, it’s an insurance policy<\/strong> for the future.<\/p>\n

But in England it’s become a controversy.<\/p>\n

Watch this space for more news on Thursday’s interview and its aftermath.<\/p>\n

Will or will not, the Crown Prosecution Service<\/strong><\/a> decide that Philip Nitschke has breached the UK Suicide Act<\/em> by answering the questions of hundreds if not thousands of Exit Members about their end of life choices.<\/p>\n

Or will they respect the core individual rights and freedoms enshrined by British Human Rights Act<\/a> <\/em>and the European Convention on Human Rights<\/a><\/em> and allow Exit members freedom of association and the freedom to access information that they wish?<\/p>\n
